I'd like to know if there's anyone else going through the same thing as me. Im 38, and feel like I'm still a "teen " whenever I'm around my parents. It's as if my parents constantly think that I need their help or advice. It has gotten to the point where I'm beginning to avoid seeing them and talking to them. Actually I think the problem is more with my mom than with my dad. I can't even tell my mother that I have an appointment somewhere without her telling me that she's going to come over and pick me up to save me from paying bus fair! It makes me so angry. I know they mean their best and all, but how and when will it ever stop?
